A working electronic "Living Godzilla" from the 1998 TriStar film — produced by Trendmasters and released for the Japanese market under Bandai distribution. Press the chest button and the figure lets out its roar and rears its head in a lunging attack motion. Tested and working (see video). A monster designed in Hollywood, built in Japan, and still roaring 25 years later — even the exports that didn't quite land found a second life here.
The Bandai distribution label is on the leg (shown in the photos), identifying this as the Japan-market release rather than the U.S. Trendmasters edition — the version collectors look for from Japan.

About Shipping
I only ever charge the actual, official postage — never a markup. Shipping is based on Japan Post's official EMS rate table. Please see the rate for your region here: https://www.post.japanpost.jp/send/oversea/charge/list-ems/all.html
If you are located in a region with special zone rates (for example, Cyprus or other outlying areas), the listed shipping may differ slightly. In that case, please message me before purchasing and I will correct it to the exact official rate.
Note for customers in the United States
Please note: under current U.S. import rules, sellers are now required to pre-pay customs duties before shipping (via an approved app called "Zonos"). This requirement is unique to the United States. In most other countries, import duties are paid by the buyer on delivery — but for U.S. orders, I must pay these duties up front on your behalf. For this reason, the cost of U.S. customs duties will be added to the item price. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and truly appreciate your understanding.
Please feel free to message me with any questions before purchasing.
